I can't impress enough upon people that if you tell an honest story that people relate to and people believe and invest in, you can do anything.
Paul FeigI couldn't be happier to not be acting. I miss it, but I don't miss the auditioning or trying to get work.
Paul FeigWomen's humor seems to be a little more supportive. It's just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like I'm going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys.
Paul FeigI think things go wrong when there's not a very specific plan and specific emotional roadmap. You need to know what a scene needs to get across, and what story point that needs to be advanced, whether it's discovering someone for the first time or whether it's seeing a relationship get strained. What I do as a director is really create a safe environment that everyone can feel very comfortable in and experiment within so that they don't hold back anything.
